I must say I saw John "Cougar" in the early '80s opening up for Heart. After only hearing his radio AirPlay I wasn't expecting much, but when the lights went out in the Coliseum and only the drummer took the stage playing the beat and the musicians came in one by one and the song they did was Humble Pies 30 days in the hole.... I was blown away! Prior to that having been a huge Springsteen and the E Street Band fan I always give credit to John Mellencamp for what he has done... quite the similar Vibe between the two and stories of growing up... rocking and rollin', girls and all that goes with that...👍

That makes sense, and I can see why you would think that. But if it's the tour I'm thinking of in '83 or '84, that was their wardrobe for the whole run. I saw them a couple times that year. Once in Terre Haute and then maybe in St. Louis, can't recall for sure. I don't know if they were tuxedoes, per se - but the band definitely wore dark suits and white shirts. I took it as a nod to early rock and soul artists.

Got to meet several artists, and all of them were extremely nice to us “peon nobody’s “ except for John who was still John Cougar at the time. He just oozed “aren’t you privileged to meet me” vibe.

Point taken - some of it is what you expect out of live music performance. If it is elite musicianship - then a band like Rush is going to be the experience you remember as being "best" ( the fact they played 3 hour shows with no opener helps) - or Yes, ELP, etc. Let's face it Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen and Iron Maiden - as examples - are going for a much different audience impact than JCM or Springsteen. In the case of Motorhead......your hearing would remember the show for days even if your mind happened to forget - because they were the loudest band on the planet. Ultimately to really enjoy a show - starting out as a fan of the songs is the most reliable way to have a good experience live. Doesn't always work out - Aerosmith in the drunk days before rehab.....worst show I have seen from any major band. They flat sucked ass. Saw them after rehab - like a completely different band - very enjoyable.

Glad he thinks so. I don't dislike him or his music, but c'mon. I've seen Bruce dozens of times and he's always amazing. I saw John once in Boulder in 1982 opening for The Who and he was booed off the stage. Yes, it was early in his career. He blames equipment problems, but he had the opportunity to sound check. He didn't handle it well, told the crowd to F off. His perception of the situation was probably worse than reality. A third of the crowd was actually booing, and another third were yelling to bring on The Who. From the stage it may have all sounded the same. I'm sure he matured and put on a great show as his career evolved, but there are a ton of phenomenal musicians that may like to weigh in on this claim.

Being booed off the stage opening for The Who was a tradition and an honor for most musicians. Lynyrd Skynyrd was the only band that ever opened for The Who that wasn't booed off the stage. In fact they were so liked that The Who took them as an opening act for a world tour.

He had the chance to take the job but thought it over and came back to Wisconsin back to his normal job. I found out about this about 10 years ago when he confessed if only he had known John would have the success he had back then he might have taken it. Just an example of what can happen if you don’t step outside the fire. Always liked both John’s good people.

I saw Mellencamp in the early 2000's and he was awful. "Mailing it in" is an understatement. One of the worst shows I've ever seen (and I saw 100s of shows over the yrs.) John Fogerty opened for him and blew him away. His ego here is astounding!

I've always thought Mellencamp and Springsteen shared a certain common ethos in the themes of their songs. One key difference, of course, was that the former was a Hoosier while the latter a Jersey boy.

One of the worst shows you can ever experience is John doing a private Corporate gig in Vegas, which he did for our Company---oh how special we all thought we were, until that guy took the stage, took a break every second song to sit at the side of the stage and smoke cigarettes, than come back out and do his hits like they were a 78rpm record---phoning them all in quickly--then exited the stage, jumped back on his private jet and back to Indiana he goes with a fat check in his pocket. Seen him at Farm Aid too---still doesnt get into it...I think he wants ua all to now embrace his recently discovered, backwoods, scratchy, fiddle and jug kinda hillbilly music, which he likes, but we dont...and aint no money in those songs, no corporate gigs for sure. Dont like either his two sons were raised as bullies and beat up an innocent helpless guy they mistook for someone who dissed one of the other brothers---both should have been imprisoned but the Mellencamp name in Bloomington will get you out of anything---dont buy his peace and love shtick---Even Stephen King the author pulled out of a Play they were working on when his sons bullied that poor defenseless boy. I suspect he's Napoleonic--short and out to prove himself all the time...wish he'd get back into it.

Yep nicotine is hard on your blood pressure & heart. In this interview you can really hear his lungs whistle when he inhales too. If anyone has never seen him live and wants to you better do it soon bc he’s going to lose his ability to tour & sing soon now that he’s in his 70s. Lung disease from smoking is of course gradual but once it comes on it hits fast. One cold or bad illness can do major permanent damage to their lungs (what happens when you have copd or emphysema). Every time you get sick no matter how small it always travels down into your lungs and you gotta take steroids & all kinds of crap.

@@gifted2at94 There's just no comparison, you know? Prince was a MUSICIAN to his core. Not saying that everyone I love musically has to be at his level of playing. For example, my all time favorite is Kurt Cobain. He was not an incredible musician, nor did he ever claim to be. But he had something that made him stand out, something that people wanted to be a part of. There's those guys who are just above the grade like him, Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, and more I'm forgetting lol and then there are guys who had a couple good albums in their prime and then get farther away from whatever was good about them for the rest of their career like Mellencamp. I think you understand the difference.

Sorry, but I saw him perform in Camden, NJ with John Fogarty when Fogarty restarted performing. Fogarty blew him away. When Fogarty finished, everyone said. Wow! Wouldn’t want to follow him. ….and truth was it took 😢Mellencamp at least 1/2 hour into his set before the crowd actually started warming up to him. No contest. Like I said, “Fogarty blew him Away”.
